I’ve collected a decent mix of resort outfits and beach wear over the years of traveling. My absolute favorite finds have been at boho chic boutiques tucked inside small Mexican towns. Tulum for example, has a street lined with treasure hunting, all the bikinis, sandals, beach coverups and home decor you can imagine! Sayulita was another amazing destination for finding local emerging designers and brands, pieces you cannot find here in the states.

Below are some romper options that can be worn as a coverup or paired with a simple white tank top or t-shirt.
Cotton Basics:
Simply put…every person needs an inventory of good cotton shirts, tanks and shorts or trousers. I like to travel in cotton pants (jogger or trouser style), because they are so versatile! Check out these selections and make sure you add this to your wardrobe!
